2 Kolumnit From the Executive Director At the time of writing this column, the interviews in the Finnish ASLA-Fulbright Graduate Student Program have just been completed and the award winners selected. This year the quality of the candidates was once again high and the competition intense. The Finnish Graduate Student Program is an example of a program that has a long tradition of over five decades. While maintaining the strong tradition and the proven quality, the challenge of the Fulbright program is to find ways to renew itself at the same time in order to respond to the current changes and realities in international exchanges in Finland and within the European Union. As Board Member Ossi V. Lindqvist describes in his column below, the environment in which the exchange programs operate has changed considerably, particularly during the past decade, and it continues to change. These changes have brought about new demands for the Fulbright program, such as the need for new types of opportunities for study and research cooperation. Within the past year, the Fulbright Center in Helsinki has announced three new programs that complement existing grant opportunities. These are genuinely new opportunities also in the sense that they do not draw from the funding of the already established FC programs. In late spring, the FC Board opened the Fulbright Senior Specialists Program for Finnish institutions. It raised a strong interest among Finnish universities, and over the summer two Senior Specialist Grants had already been awarded to US scholars for their lecturing and consultation at Finnish universities. A few weeks ago, the Fulbright Center announced the Fulbright New Century Scholars Program for the first time in Finland. An initiative of the Fulbright Scholar program, this program brings together research scholars and professionals from around the world to engage in multidisciplinary collaboration on a topic of global significance. This past summer the Fulbright Center has, also for the first time, awarded Renewal Grants for Finnish grantees to support their study projects in the United States beyond their initial grant year. Finnish and US scholar alumni, on the other hand, can apply for institutional grants in the Alumni Initiatives Award Program to help translate the individual Fulbright experience into longterm institutional impact. These new opportunities of very different length and scope are examples of a tailored response to an existing demand. Naturally, they alone are not enough to constitute a sufficient response to all the changes around us. International exchange is dynamic by nature and it requires an attitude of continuous but balanced change. The strength of the best programs that last over decades lies ultimately in their ability to continue to renew themselves while preserving the best of their tradition. Terhi Mölsä Bologna - Europe on the move! Bologna is a process aiming to enhance the competitivenes and attractiveness of the European higher education through various processes. The University of Bologna celebrated its 900th Anniversary in 1988, and the attending university rectors signed a Magna Charta Universitatum, which was followed, in 1998, by the Sorbonne Declaration of the Ministers of Education of UK, Italy, Germany and France. Other European countries have later joined the Declaration. The higher education systems in various European countries show a great variety, for historical and other reasons, which are clear hindrances to European cooperation. It is wisely said that the Bologna process aims at harmonisation of the European higher education, not at homogenisation! The Bologna process was further solidified in the Education Ministers summit meeting in Prague in The Prague meeting had a follow-up meeting in Berlin in September The Prague Communiqué specifies the needed actions into nine categories, the first of which is the adoption of a system of comparable degrees, so that students and citizens can use their qualifications through the European Higher Education Area (HEA). Comparability can also be increased by establishment of a system of credits for HE studies, which also aims to enhance transferability and accumulation functions. This is also called the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Furthermore, the now so diverse European degree structures require adoption of a common structure, based on two cycles, undergraduate and graduate. This process has already started in many countries and in some it is already required by the law. E.g. Finland will adopt this by the year A very important target in the Prague Communiqué is the promotion of mobility, of both students, teachers, researchers and administrative staff. There have already been several European Community programs to support mobility. In fact, last year 2002, saw the millionth European university student going to study to another country. Through mobility European students can enrich themselves with contacts and studies in other countries and other cultures; the new European initiative, the Erasmus Mundus program, will have implications also on exchange with the U.S. For high quality standards and comparability a European wide cooperation in quality assurance in HE was encouraged. The main responsibility lies with the universities and institutions of higher education themselves, but also the European Network of Quality Assurance (ENQA), was called to collaborate in establishing a common framework of reference and to disseminate the best practice. The national accreditation and/or evaluation organisations or councils are members of ENQA. In Finland, it is represented by the Finnish Higher Education Evaluation Council (www.kka.fi). Furthermore, the Prague meeting also called for the promotion of the European dimension in higher education. The Prague also added the important role of lifelong learning strategies. And finally, the European HEA also calls for the increased and in fact crucial role of students and their organizations in participating in the development of organization and contents of higher education. This Bologna process thus represents a major change and development in the European higher education; it is both time-consuming and sometimes difficult, but the main aim is to make Europe more competitive globally. Also in Finland, virtually every university has a Bologna office particularly for the restructuring of the degree systems. The exact role of the Finnish polytechnics in the Bologna process is still an open question, but no doubt with time they will also be active participants in it, one way or another. Ossi V. Lindqvist Professor, University of Kuopio Member of the Fulbright Center Board of Directors Chair of the Finnish Higher Education Evaluation Council 2

The objective of the AIA program is to help translate the individual Fulbright experience into long-term institutional impact. To this end, the program provides small institutional grants to Fulbright alumni to develop innovative projects that will foster institutionally supported linkages and sustainable, mutually beneficial relationships between the Fulbright scholar s home and host institutions. AWARDS It is anticipated that up to 30 AIA awards ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 will be made in 2004, depending on availability of funding. The award duration is up to two years.

10 Current The University of Helsinki and Northern Illinois University to Sign a Partnership Agreement The Faculty of Education at the University of Helsinki and the College of Education at Northern Illinois University will sign a partnership agreement in December The agreement is intended to benefit exchange of students and personnel, advancement of research, and innovative program planning. Cooperation between the two universities will include, for example, short- and long term student exchanges, professional exchanges, conferences, collaborative research projects, and the creation of Post-Doctoral Fellowships. In addition, the agreement will extend to Hämeenlinna Teacher Education Center of Tampere University and also to the University of Lapland. Dr. Paul Ilsley, Professor of Educational Research and Adult Education at Northern Illinois University, is one of the organizers of the agreement between the two universities. Dr Ilsley spent last fall at the University of Helsinki as a Fulbright Scholar and speaks highly about his Fulbright experience in Finland. The opportunity last fall was critical to me, both on a personal and on a professional basis, he says, and serves as the basis for a continuation agreement betweeen these universities. He continues with genuine passion of how his experience served as an eye-opener. This agreement would not have been written without the Fulbright Fellowship. It seems obvious that the work a Fulbrighter does can be extended through the creation of similar experiences for others. Dr. Ilsley informs us about NIU Professor John Niemi, who was the first Fulbright Scholar to Finland in Adult Education 25 years ago. It was Niemi who paved the way for others to follow. His Fulbright demanded visiting many universities and the resulting networking was instrumental in the establishment of new programs in adult education in Finland. He continued his associations, expanded upon his experience, Formal agreements may not be essential for project cooperation among professors. But agreements make the cooperation last and the ride a lot smoother, says Dr. Ilsley and adds, Agreements are means, not ends. We should never be satisfied merely with an agreement because, if implement well enough, the work will never be done. and created opportunities for others during the past 25 years, says Dr. Ilsley. Professor Hannele Niemi (no relation to John Niemi), the 1 st Vice-Rector of the University of Helsinki, has been actively involved in the creation of the partnership agreement between the University of Helsinki and Northern Illinois University. According to Professor Niemi the agreement means continuity, which is needed in international cooperation. It has been preceded by years and even decades of cooperation, which was built on the work of key people. We still need these initiators and personal contacts, but the agreement widens the work and scope of cooperation. It strengthens cooperation in both research and teaching. Its goal is to integrate cooperation naturally and systematically as a part of the function of faculties and departments, to make it visible and exciting. In an excellent manner, the agreement for cooperation realizes the University of Helsinki s strategy, in which an important focus is on the development of international mobility and teacher, student, and researcher exchange, Professor Niemi concludes.

12 ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association 50 Years From the Fifties to the New Millennium In the early 50 s, in a war-ridden, isolated country, desperately short of foreign currency, opportunities to travel abroad were extremely limited and a trip to America merely a pipe dream. For many of the early grantees, the 19-hour flight across the Atlantic was their first. After often life-changing experiences in the US, these first grantees, like many after them, needed a forum for reminiscing, sharing experiences, and finding ways to help future grantees with practical information and advice. The ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association was founded at a meeting held on December 12, 1953 and chaired by Mr. H.A. Turja, who became key person during the early years, serving, among other things, as chairman for the first five years. The association was a success from the beginning. There were seminars, lectures, luncheons, gala dances, visits to a variety Finnish cultural and industrial organizations and companies. From today s point of view, the huge amount of positive publicity the group received could be envied. Even the national newspapers printed news, pictures of ASLA meetings, and reviews of lectures and speeches given at various gatherings. One prominent ASLA figure of the 60 s was Tauri Aaltio, who was later invited to be an honorary member of the association. Initially, the association kept in touch with its members using mimeographed sheets, which at some phases were folded into small Exhibition To mark its 50 th anniversary, the ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association, in collaboration with the Fulbright Center, is producing an exhibition on the academic exchanges between the US and Finland. Former grantees have provided material from their personal photo albums and archives for the exhibition. MA students from the University of Art and Design leaflets. For a period of about three years in , a fine magazine printed on glossy paper was published with funding provided by a US grant, which for 1964 was $ The association has remained active since those days, organizing events and assisting alumni. Recently, ties with the Fulbright Center have been strengthened and many of the group s events are now held at their premises in downtown Helsinki, and organised in co-operation with the Center. Today, the association plays an active role in maintaining a network of both American and Finnish alumni and in promoting the growth of the Fulbright Program in Finland. The association not only publishes a traditional newsletter, but also communicates increasingly via lists and its informative webpage. A new board was elected in the winter of 2002 and since then, association activities have increased in intensity. Its members, including Finnish and American, recent and more experienced alumni, have tremendous enthusiasm and have brought renewed dedication to the association, planning anniversary year events and organizing new projects such as the Fulbright Buddy Program. Ahti Kurkela ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association Board Member since 1997, Alumni newsletter editor , Treasurer since in Helsinki will design the exhibition with funding from the American Embassy. Although the exhibition will be permanently displayed at the Fulbright Center in Helsinki, it will also travel in Finland and the US in order to share ASLA-Fulbright history with a larger audience. The opening of the exhibition will be held at a reception at Finlandia Hall in conjunction with the ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association s 50 th Anniversary concert. 50 th Anniversary Concert The main event of the ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association s 50 th Anniversary is a concert by Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra in Finlandia Hall on November 20, Chief Conductor Leif Segerstam, one of the most well known Finnish ASLA-Fulbright Scholars, will conduct the concert. The concert program includes Ludwig van Beethoven s Leonore III, overture; Karol Szymanowski s Violin Concerto 1, and Jean Sibelius Symphony 3. Violinist is Mi-Kyung Lee, Professor of the violin at the Sibelius Academy since1999. The event begins with a reception at 17:30. This reception will open the anniversary exhibit on the history of the ASLA-Fulbright program. The concert will follow at 19:00. The ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association invites all former grantees and friends of the program to join in the celebration. The tickets that function also as entrance to the reception are available at Lippupiste. When buying the ticket, please mention the code Fulbright : this code should be printed on the ticket.

13 Fulbright Buddy System: up, running, and making a difference This year, with vivid memories of their own experience in mind, a team of Fulbright Alumni has volunteered to serve in the Buddy System, organized by the Board of the ASLA- Fulbright Alumni Association in Finland. Both Finns and Americans living in Finland, the Alumni Buddies share a common goal; they want to give back something to a program that touched their lives. They want to pass on the torch of hospitality, friendship, and kindness by personally welcoming a American Fulbrighter to Finland. The Buddy System has matched all incoming Fulbrighters students, teachers, and lecturers with a volunteer Alumni Buddy in Finland. Most of the matches were made based on region, common interest, or shared experience. The idea behind the System is that by connecting one-to-one with their buddies, American Fulbrighters will have an easier, less complicated, and more pleasant transition to life in Finland. They ll have an advanced start on network building and sowing the seeds of friendship that will grow throughout the year. Text: Natasha Seeley ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association Are you interested in? Are you a Fulbright Alumnus living in Finland and interested in joining the Buddy System next year? Sign-up to be a Buddy to an American Fulbrighter in Finland by sending an to Alumni Activities Outside Helsinki? The ASLA-Fulbright experience does not have to end when we return home to Finland. Not even if home is outside of the Helsinki metropolitan area where most alumni activities currently happen. How about starting local activities in honour of the 50 th Anniversary of the ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association? Several alumni can surely be found throughout the country. Maybe it would be nice to organize things together. For example, gathering a group from your area to travel together to our Celebration Concert in November! Photo: Aki Hiltunen Celebrating the Fulbright Buddy System A night of intense conversation and intense fun was enjoyed at the official kick off celebration of the ASLA- Fulbright Alumni Association s Buddy System after the Fulbright Orientation in August. Fulbright grantees, their Alumni Buddies, friends of Buddy System, and a troupe of Special Guests attended the party. The Fulbright Buddy System celebration provided a locus for sharing ideas, making new friends and connections, and exploring a range of topics within the context of special expertise. Many stayed late into the night, enjoying every last bit of what will undoubtedly become tradition The ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association s Buddy System s Annual Post- Orientation Celebration. Let me know if you would like to organize any local Fulbright alumni activities. Maybe I can help to hook you up with other alumni. Or even better, if you could tell me what you are already planning to do. Kristiina Erkkilä, Regional Coordinator, ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association, 13

16 Alat ja ammatit Design Study in the United States Alat ja ammatit Alat ja ammatit -sarjassa amerikkalaiset Fulbright-stipendiaatit kirjoittavat omasta opiskelustaan Yhdysvalloissa. Miten alalle kouluttaudutaan ja mistä saa tietoa opinnoista? architecture profession and consumer industry, requiring students to hold certain common proficiencies. In art and design, the student has the awesome responsibility of deciding upon ones own course of education and choosing ones own path upon graduation. Education Design as a field of study encompasses the entire world, from the products people use, the books they read, and the places they dwell in. It can be stated that everything around us is designed. As a student of design, one must be conscious of the material world, and take responsibility for the affects ones actions have on ones environment. In this way, design can be viewed as different from art. Although it is just as creative as art, designers must have a self-imposed consciousness that attaches inherent responsibility to the freedom of the creative act. A student of design must be able to solve problems quickly, work creatively, and combine disciplines fluently. The designer must also be highly competent in for example craftsmanship, drawing, model making, photographing, and metalworking. Specializations Within the field of design, the following distinctions are usually made: design, architecture, landscape architecture, industrial design, and graphic design. Design as a field of study encompasses the entire world. Architecture includes urban design and planning, as well as the history of architecture. Landscape architecture involves the planning of public spaces, exterior environments, and environmental issues. Industrial design, also called product design, can include furniture design, fashion design, computer based design, packaging design and exhibit design. Graphic design encompasses typography, information design, photography, graphics and animation, layout, and so on. Art and Design, which can also be called design or environmental design, is based more in the fine arts, and therefore involves specializations such as painting, sculpture, animation, drawing, mixed- media, and textile design. In general, Art and Design requires students to be more independent and proactive than the more traditional design fields such as architecture and graphic design. This is because there is not an established career path for the artistdesigner. An architecture degree, for example, is shaped and molded by the demands of the In all fields of design, there are Bachelor level degrees, commonly named as a Bachelor of Design, Bachelor of Architecture, Bachelor of Industrial Design, etc. Frequently, there are Master Degrees in Architecture, Industrial Design, and Graphic Design. On the Doctorate level, a degree in Architecture is most common. A Doctorate of Philosophy in Design, is available as well. In the Arts, a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts are available. It should be noted that the Masters Degree in both the design and art fields is often seen as a terminal degree. Therefore, the Masters in Design is often equivalent to a Doctorate, and one may teach at the university level accordingly. Many courses for architects and graphic designers (such as technical drawing and drafting, typography and layout) can be completed through vocational programs. However, these courses would then be most likely applied as credit to a Bachelor degree. Generally, the undergraduate study of design includes basic study requirements found in most American universities (English, Math, Language, History, etc), as well as specialized study requirements (History of Art, History of Design, Philosophy of Design, Materials and Processes, Drawing, Sculpture, Painting, etc.). The defining component of a design education, however, is the studio. It is common in most design schools for students to be enrolled in a studio during every semester of study. Studios are viewed as the major component of a student s work, while the other courses are to enhance and enrich the design experience. The studio is a private space that a student normally has access to 16

17 24-hours a day. The studio is an intense and active educational experience focused on creative production and problem solving. The education of a design student occurs in two ways. Some schools keep all students together in basic design studios for one to two years. After these formative years of exploration and the mastering of techniques and concepts, the students choose their field of specialization. In contrast, some educational programs accept students directly into a set field, and education within that area of design begins immediately. Selecting a School It is important to remember that the United States is a large country with numerous universities, colleges, and other institutions. In every region of the United States there are options for studying design. Likewise, there are countless regions, cultures, subcultures, and sub-subcultures. Therefore, when planning to study art or design in the United States, it is a good idea to first pick a desired location, and have a deep interest in the landscape, people, history, and culture existing in a specific place or region. Once a desired location has been discovered, a search for a university or other institution to study and work with will become much more meaningful.
